High Speed Chase


At around 5:15PM last night, I pulled off the freeway at the central Mt. Shasta exit. I turned left to go into town to pick up Rachel. It was mostly dark out as I came around the corner and started up the hill of the overpass. As soon as I came up high enough to see car lights in the other lane, I noticed that there were car lights in my lane. My first thought was that it was some idiot kid racing a friend. I let off the gas just in case, expecting him to slow down and get back behind the truck he was passing. But oh no, that is not what this guy did. Apparently he was going much faster than I originally thought. He gassed it and darted in front of the truck as I slammed on my brakes and turned out of the way. I slammed on my horn and looked to the rear view mirror in time to see him pass the next car. Basically I'm thinking "WTF mate". I Begin on my way again and as I come over the overpass I see all sorts of lights and hear all sorts of sirens. I pull off the road again and a mix of CHP and Sheriff vehicles fly by. There were probably about six in all and they were all going super fast. I was so pumped to have witnessed a high speed chase through little Mt. Shasta. And I was a little happy that I wasn't involved. I'm pretty sure he was driving the car in the picture. I really hope he was just doing it for the fun of it. Cause that would be awesome.
